“We at Löfbergs have long worked hard with sustainability issues, and it was very interesting to get new perspectives. Important aspects such as how the colonial history of coffee affects the way the market looks today triggered many thoughts for us. The program was also proof that we are really ahead of the curve and making wise decisions regarding our future sustainability work”, says Kajsa-Lisa Ljudén.
“A perfect opportunity to combine our passion for coffee and sustainability. It was very educational to participate in the program together with people with different experiences and challenges. One of the participants ran a coffee farm in Brazil, others worked at a micro roastery or in the café industry. In addition, our teacher Erika Koss lived in Kenya for many years. I have long had a burning interest in taste and knowledge of coffee, and being able to add new knowledge about sustainability has really broadened and deepened my interest in coffee”, says Anna Nordström.
